Error reading protocol version

Post by xMaximex »

Hi,

I try to use SC UVNC. I'm behind a linux firewall. Port 5500 is forwarded to my PC. When i use SC on a remote computer, it says that it's trying to connect. On my PC i get the error : Error reading protocol version.

I tryied with both rc18 and v.100 and i have the same error.

How can I fix that ?
